Possible rivals of the Barcelona in 1/4 of Champions League:

Ajax

Under the control of Erik have Hag, and with the presence of players very talentosos, the Ajax gave the big surprise to the vapulear to the Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu (1-4). The staff 'ajacied' alternating footballers curtidos and with experience, as Dusan Tadic, Schöne and Daley Blind, with young promises that have a brilliant future, as they are the cases of Matthijs of Ligt, Neres or Frenkie of Jong, already fichado by the FC Barcelona. 

Although it possesses a big talent of centre of the field upwards, the Ajax is used to to wake up doubts in defence, although against the Real Madrid showed flawless in Santiago Bernabéu. Dusan Tadic, Neres and Ziyech are used to to carry all the leadership up, but it will be necessary to see how manages this individual 'trident' against a defence of guarantees. Of Jong and Of Ligt, the most stood out to give balance to the team.

The Barcelona already knows to perfection to the 'spurs' when having confronted in two occasions during the phase of groups.

Pochettino Is used to to populate the centre of the field with players of work and talent, like Eriksen, Winks, Dier or Trippier (lateral reconverted to carrilero), able to arrive from second line to the contrary area to finish played and generate superiorities. The FC Barcelona is upper to the Tottenham on the paper, but will have to give 100% if it remains matched with the group londinense, in chambers of Champions for the second time in his history.

XI type of the Tottenham: Lloris; Alderweireld, Davinson, Vertonghen; Trippier, Dier, Winks, Eriksen, Rose; they Are Heung-Min and Harry Kane.

I carry

The 'dragoes' can be considered like the 'cenicienta' of the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but to the equal that the Ajax combine old glories like Boxes or Pepe -experience by doquier- with other young players and with capacity of progression by in front, like Militao. The Carry is used to to go something lacking of gunpowder in attack, but always gives the size to competitive level.

With an ex player like Sérgio Conceiçãor to charge of the team, the Carry already is happy for having arrived to quarter-finals of the Champions League, but wants to more when being one of the mythical teams of the competition. In the FC Barcelona sure that all will wish that it was the rival chosen in the draw, but if it is like this there will be relaxation that cost in any of the two parties.

XI type of the Carry: Boxes; Telles, Pepe, Felipe, Éder Militao; Pereira, Otavio, Herrera, Crown; Marega and Tiquinho.

Manchester United

Since José Mourinho withdrew of scene, the Manchester United has reflotado to the orders of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, that arrived like interim technician has won to pulse be the trainer of the next season. Solskjaer Arrived to a team sunk, but to base of spirits, knowledge of the club and of changing room, has known to motivate to all his players to go to one.

In spite of the multiple injuries that has had lately the group 'network devil', follows possessing a staff of the most competitive, with some weaknesses in defence and in the zone of creation, but with a big potential in attack. Lukaku, Rashford, Lingard, Kills, Pereira, the lesionado Alexis Sánchez... The Manchester United can be a dangerous team for the FC Barcelona.

XI type of the Manchester United: Of Gea; Shaw, Lindelöf, Smalling, Young; Pogba, Herrera, Fred; Lingard, Rashford and Lukaku.

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola heads to one of the big favourites of the competition, that arrives to quarter-finals after having lumbered with a 7-0 to the Schalke 04 in the turn of the eliminatory of eighth. The Manchester City has one of the best attacks of the world -perhaps the best-, with a centre of the creative field and also with players of containment. The defence and the goal is not to the level, however, of the rest of zones.

The mastery of the technician of Sampedor to the hour to make his onces and strategies, in any case, compensates any weakness. If it remains matched with the FC Barcelona, could speak of 'final anticipated' between two of the best teams of the world. Agüero, Sterling, Bernardo Silva, Leroy Sané, Gabriel Jesus, Kevin of Bruyne, Mahrez, Silva, Gündogan... Talent endless in the staff 'citizen'.

XI type of the Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Otamendi, Stones, Mendy; Fernandinho, Of Bruyne, David Silva; Sané, Sterling and Agüero.

Juventus

With Cristiano Ronaldo in the staff, the Juventus has a 'bullet of silver' to delete to any one, and in any situation. It is a more compensated team in all his lines that the Manchester City, club with which shares favouritism in Champions together with the FC Barcelona. It stands out mainly by a defence of first level, that possibly was the best of Europe

But in the centre of the field and the front of attack does not remain short. It has of players of creation like Pjanic or Betancur, 'all-terrains' as Emre Can, Khedira or Matuidi and forwards like Mandzukic, Dybala, Bernardeschi or the same Christian. See to the luso again in the Camp Nou would be an authentic 'morbazo', like the fact that it go back to share terrain of game with Leo Messi.

XI type of the Juventus: Szczesny; I Cancel, Bonucci, Chiellini, Sandro; Pjanic, Matuidi, Emre Can; Dybala, Mandzukic and Cristiano.

Liverpool

The ones of Jürgen Klopp, finalists the year happened against the Real Madrid, attained to lumber with a 1-3 to the Bayern Munich in the Allianz Sand, with a Sadio Mané that annotated two goels and erigió like big hero for the 'reds'. Although the Liverpool is cuajando irregular results in the last weeks, keeps on being one of the most dangerous teams of the Champions League, especially by the trident Mané-Firmino-Salah up.

The signings of the last summer have allowed him balance the staff and improve so much in the defensive field as in the centre of the field. The goal also is very covered with Alisson, by what the Liverpool will be, beside Juventus and Manchester City, one of the worst teams that will be able to touch him to the Barcelona in the draw of the next Friday in Nyon. The 'reds' play to the contragolpe, but have technical capacity to dominate the parties.

XI type of the Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Go Dijk, Robertson; Milner, Fabinho, Henderson; Mané, Salah and Firmino.
